The shortest white water course we do with just enough time to learn a few skills. Great for groups and individuals willing to have a go, this day is the fast-track to white water paddling! The morning will start with a flat-water session to develop your basic paddling skills, to get you ready for the afternoon when we move onto moving and white water. This will introduce to and give you a taste of the power of the river!

A full day of a great activity! In the morning we head into Snowdonia to experience your first gorge, where you’ll make your way up a series of waterfalls, secured by a rope, then you’ll head back to a local gorge, where this time you descend the river - jumping, sliding, swimming and scrambling. Even those who start off a little apprehensive will be joining in all the fun by the end of the day!

Please Note: The minimum age for this course is 14 years. ALL under 18 year olds must be accompanied by a responsible participating adult. Family sessions (where dates are stated) are for families with children aged 8years and over.

Gorge Walking, or Canyoning as it is known in other parts of the world, is a surprisingly satisfying activity! Making your way up (or down) a narrow, deep cleft carved in the side of a mountain by the deceptively small stream through which you are wading, or swimming. Climbing up raging torrents, secured by your instructor's rope, jumping into deep pools and abseiling down waterfalls can all be part of the fun. A well earned lunch can sometimes be had sitting in the dappled sunlight on a sun warmed slab of rock, by a deep pool with the sound of flowing water and the distant roar of the wind outside this sheltered place.

After lunch perhaps you can try to traverse that pool, but remember even the instructors fall in sometimes!

We choose the best gorges available in North Wales, so you have a great time on your Gorge Walking adventure!

Gorge Walking Taster

An exciting half day introduction to this fantastic activity, in a beautiful local gorge! After you’ve jumped and slid your way down the gorge, you’ll be sure to want to come back for more!

Please Note: The minimum age for this course is 14 years. ALL under 18 year olds must be accompanied by a responsible participating adult. Family sessions (where dates are stated) are for families with children aged 8years and over.

There is no better way of trying out climbing than our half day taster session. Your experienced instructor will get you kitted up, then warm you up with some low level bouldering. This is where you will learn how to move about on the rock, weight transference and how to use your legs more effectively.

Next you will be shown how to belay (control the rope) and then you will be climbing on some of the classic beginner routes in the vale of Llangollen. These routes will allow you to practice what you have learnt while bouldering.

After bouldering we will finish off with some abseiling the classic way to get down the cliffs.

For some, a half day climbing can start a lifetime of pleasure and excitement.

Please Note - the Under 18 rate is for young people aged 14 to 17 years accompanied by a participating adult.
